Pediatric Feeding & Swallowing
Expert pediatric therapists working closely with families to assess and treat a wide range of feeding and swallowing challenges.
Safe, Confident Mealtimes
Our experienced pediatric therapists work closely with you, your family, and other healthcare professionals to assess and treat a wide range of feeding and swallowing challenges. We provide individualized support for children who have difficulty transitioning from breast or bottle feeding to table foods, safely chewing and swallowing, weaning from tube feeding, accepting new foods, or adding greater variety to their diet.
Using a child-centered and family-focused approach, our therapists consider each child's oral-motor skills, sensory needs, medical history, development, and mealtime environment. We create practical treatment plans designed to improve feeding skills, build confidence around food, and make mealtimes safer and more positive for the entire family.

💧 Systematic Weaning Protocol
Our Systematic Weaning Protocol provides a gradual, individualized approach to safely reducing the thickness of a child's liquids. In collaboration with the child's family and medical team, the process supports progression toward thinner liquids while closely monitoring swallowing safety, tolerance, and overall success.
Preparing for Your First Appointment
A hungry child
It's important that your child is hungry during therapy. Hungry children tend to be more willing to try new foods and environments.
Special foods & formula
We rely on you to bring foods and liquids for your child. For picky eaters, start with mostly preferred foods to build rapport.
Bottles & nipples
If your child is bottle-fed, please bring the bottle and nipple used for most feedings so we can assess and support feeding mechanics.
Help make mealtimes enjoyable again
Our feeding specialists are here for you and your family every step of the way.
